I intend to use the quad headlight setup on my 1981 .
Now these are known to be "not very bright" .
And I'll be using the french/swiss yellow lenses wich will make thing even worse .
So I was thinking of ways to improve this .
The outer lights , the low beam H4 's ue a dual filament bulb .
In other cars the low/high beam is lit by switching power from one filmament to another .
In the ur'q the high beam filament is simply not wired and the inner H1's ase used instead .
So a way to improve the high beam would be to wire the H4 high beam in parallel with the H1
and have all 4 lamps working . Offcourse that woud require a decent realy-ing and rewiring .
Then I thought , yes I did a lot of thinking :) , why not replace the H1 's and
use H4's instead . That would , if properly wired , make a dual low beam and a dual high beam
on both sides .
Anyone ever tried this ? Thought's idea's ... fire away .
Btw I'm also looking for a set of decent quad headligh trim's .
Don't minde if they look bad or if the chrome is gone . As long as they're intact its' ok .
Anyone have one or two they'de care to sell or trade ,drop me a mail .
